Numatik Swing Band is a live album by Roswell Rudd and the Jazz Composer's Orchestra released on the JCOA label in 1973.
[1] The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars stating "The music on this date is avant-garde, but has its melodic and accessible sections".
[2] The authors of The Harmony Illustrated Encyclopedia of Jazz wrote that the album "shows [Rudd's] concern for textures, French horns rising over drum beat, piano and basses in unison, the scampering piccolo.
"[3] Trombonist and composer Jacob Garchik wrote: "Fascinating writing for a 25 piece large ensemble, another one of his under-explored talents!
He commented: "The recording showed his more adventurous side... and it featured one of the masterpieces of Rudd's career: The solo on the 'Circulation' movement.
